On behalf of Mebyon Kernow, I have today sent a letter to the Prime Minister, copied to Cornish MPs, setting out my concerns that the UK Government is failing to act on the articles within the Framework Convention for the Protection of National Minorities.

In May, the Office of National Statistics (ONS) published its initial response to the public consultation on topics for possible inclusion in the 2021 Census. In this, the ONS stated that they were not minded to include the option of a Cornish tickbox, adding that there would be a further consultation on options for the census questions on identity in the near-future.
